The infectious enthusiasm of firefly Fizz is reason enough to play Driftmoon. Indie RPGs can be scrappy affairs, but this fifteen-hour tale from husband and wife team Instant Kingdom is, although crude in appearance, a really rather lovely thing.

After an evil wizard turns his friends and family to stone, a young adventurer goes off on a journey to uncover the mystery behind it, and thwart that bastard King Ixal until he’s jolly sorry.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.

The RPS archives don’t contain a single post dedicated to Notrium and Survival Week is the perfect time to remedy that. Mod-friendly, free to download and rocking a randomised alien world before ‘procedural generation’ became the buzzword de jour, Ville Mönkkönen’s top-down sci-fi treat is still an unusual experience, even if I do sometimes feel that half of the game developers in the world have been secretly taking notes from it.

Charming-looking top-down RPG Driftmoon, which has been in development by Finnish dev team Instant Kingdom for quite some time now (we first reported on it back in 2011), arrives tomorrow. The Instant Kingdoms have put out a trailer of the game, which you can see below, in which players explore dungeons, look at spiders, and stroll on a beach. All good RPGing things.

The gang send word that they’ve blogged about what’s going on with their latest bit of development, and have released a trailer, which you can see below. There’s going to be a demo soon, they report, and you can of course already get access to the game with a pre-order. And I wouldn’t be surprised if quite a few people don’t do that, at least if they had some of the brain written over by a certain era of 16-bit home computing, anyway. Go take a look!Read the rest of this entry »

Ooh, the Indiegames blog has served up another choice cut of news. Instant Kingdom, the Finnish indie developer behind awesome freeware survival sim Notrium (do check that one out if surviving through a long, cold, alien night sounds like something you’d enjoy) is currently hard at work on Driftmoon, an RPG that I think might best be described as personality-heavy. You can watch the latest trailer after the jump, and play the latest alpha build by simply pre-ordering the game direct from Instant Kingdom for €11.99. He just put in the talent tree in the last update, which I think could be compared to an RPG losing its baby teeth.Read the rest of this entry »
